Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's been out of sorts at big prices in his four runs this season; has plenty to prove and all of his nine wins have been over 6f.

Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up.

Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though.

Form & Verdict
In-form 4yo who was knocking on the door before an odds-on win in classified event at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; 3lb higher back in a handicap, but that was a comfortable success and she has form on slow ground; major player.

Sole success came in a Kempton handicap (7f, Polytrack) last October, but comes into this off the back of three consecutive runner-up finished in similar events on turf; should go well again.

Yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 1m but came second in this grade at Lingfield (7.6f/7f, good to firm) on her last two outings and features prominently in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run in a classified event at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) in June but he was a remote third there (1m) last time; that was a tough task behind a handicap blot but he's not easy to predict and his two runs on slow ground have been underwhelming.

Form & Verdict
Acts on fast and soft ground and she's effective at up to 1m; just one win from 27 starts but that came at this track (6f, good to firm) in June and she was runner-up here on her penultimate run; could be in the mix back up in trip.

C&D winner in June (drop to 6f helped) off 5lb lower, who finished best of the rest, and just ahead of stablemate Some Nightmare, behind Arnaz here nine days ago; will do well to turn that round on the same terms.

Always prominent when belatedly off the mark over C&D in June and probably performed to a similar level when beaten 2l off this figure at Leicester; after steering clear of 6f for so much of her career, it's now looking a good fit.

12-race maiden but she's been placed a couple of times at Chepstow (1m) this season and may have had stamina issues when upped to 1m2f last time; seems versatile ground-wise and has claims if she can bounce back with cheekpieces added.

Half-sister to fairly useful 1m2f winner Kadeen (RPR 84); struggled at big prices in three novice/maiden events (6f), but this is more realistic and she's a possible improver upped in trip on handicap debut; needs watching in market back from a break.

Betting Forcast

25/1 Vape, 5/4 Rovinia, 6/1 Angels Call, 4/1 Marisitta, 11/2 Eye Of The Water, 25/1 Its A Mugs Game, 33/1 Lady Margret, 8/1 A Rose Adaay, 14/1 Lady V, 33/1 Big Moonrise, 100/1 Kaiko

Verdict

Most of these have plenty to prove, but ROVINIA had a sequence of runner-up efforts before getting back on the scoresheet in a classified event at Ffos Las 13 days ago. She still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark and has leading claims back in a handicap. Marisitta, who was successful here in June, is feared most ahead of A Rose Adaay and Eye Of The Water.[David Moon]
